A Puggle Fractal

Using a new fractal program and changing one of my first images, I discovered it reminded me of my dog. So this is Puppy Fractal. (My dog is no longer a puppy but she has a face that retains that youthful dog appearance and she could pass for a puppy.)

The fractal program for the Mac is called Oxidize. There are very few of them, and this program makes “flame” fractals, so I mention it in case someone else is looking for something for their Mac. There are a ton of programs for Windows, but lots of artists do not use PCs, but instead use Macs. Macs are traditionally more friendly to artists — at least usually. Oxidize is not easy to use and it has a daunting learning curve and terrible documentation.
